“Oysters from the brackish bay are a main attraction in Apalach (as locals call it), and Boss Oyster is the place to go for tastes you won’t find anywhere else. The dress the sweet, plump bivalves more than 20 different ways, with feta, mushrooms, bacon, jalapenos and more.”

“Boss Oyster is located right on the waterfront, has outdoor dining and was named by Coastal Living Magazine as one of the “Top 10 Oyster Bars in the United States.” There, oysters are shucked to order, and baked oysters at Boss come with a variety of toppings. Or, you can come up your own combination. If it’s popular enough, they just might put it on the menu.”

“Boss Oyster in Apalachicola is an authentic Old Florida restaurant that has drawn residents and tourists alike for more than a hundred years. Here the oysters are harvested with tongs rather than dredged or farmed, and you’ll only get premium single-cup oysters. These eco-conscious fishermen take care to ensure sustainability, too, using different oyster bars for winter vs. summer harvests. In addition to my favorite preparation (freshly shucked with a bit of lemon), there are dozens of mouth-watering baked versions and unique treats like Oysters Japonnaise, with wasabe, fish roe and Ponzu sauce. Indescribable!”

“My friends and I started our foray at a local restaurant called Boss Oyster—their motto is “Shut up and Shuck.” Still not quite sure about where that name, Boss, came from. But if you ask anyone in town for The Place for oysters, this is where you will be told to go. . .”
